CIGARETTE HOLDER.

Application led May 25,1922. Serial N0..5G3,470.-

' cigarette holders inwhichmeans is provided for ejecting the stub of the cigarette, and

the present improvement has for its object :m

To provide a structural formatioiiand association of parts whereby the ejection of` the cigarette stub is effectively attained, by a movement of the one hand of the user, and a simple jerking action of the same, all' as will hereinafter more fully appear.

In the accompanying drawing :W

Fig. l, is a longitudinal central section of a cigarette holder embodying my invention. with the parts in position for use.

Fig. 2, is a. similar view with the parts shown in an ejector position.

Fig. 3, is a longitudinal. section, with the movable parts shown in elevation.

. Like reference numerals indicate like parts in the different views. v

Referring to the drawing, 1 designates the main shell of the holder having the usual longitudinal bore, the forward end of which is formed with the usual flaring portion 2 to receive and hold 'the end of a cigarette. shown. the main shell l is formed in sections adapted to be screwed together, to afford convenient access to the piston chamber hereinafter described for cleaning purposes and the like.

In the present improvement the .longitudinal bore of the shell l is formed intermediate of its length with an enlarged piston chain ber or cavity 3 having connection by a vreduced guide passage 4f. with the aforesaid flaring portion 2 `of the longitudinal bore.

5 designates a head or piston moving in the piston chamber 3 and preferably formed with a central passage 6 for a free passage of smoke. l

7 designates a tubular impact member In the preferred construction' moving in the reduced guide passage l, and having. stop collars or flanges 8 at its respective ends adapted to ment from the holder.` l' In the operation of the4 present'applianc'e, a sharp jerkon the part of the `hand grasperrieap prevent its displacei ing the holder willcause thev piston' or head 5 to move and have forcible impact against the impact member 7 to cause the/same to move outward and eject the stub of a cigarette from the holder. y

Vl-laving thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

l. A holder for cigarettes and the like,

comprising main shell formed with a longitudinal bore vthe forward end of which is enlarged to receive a cigarette end, said bore being enlarged intermediate its length to provide a piston chamber, a piston head having n'iovement in said piston chamber,A and means intermediate of said piston headk and the forward end ofthe longitudinal" u bore for receiving the impact of said piston l and transferring 'the same to the end of a cigarette in said forward end of the holder.

ELA holder for cigarettes and the like, comprising a main shell formed with a lon gitudinal bore the forward end of which is enlargedl to receive a cigarette end, said sov bore being enlarged intermediate its length to provide a piston chamber, a pistonhead having movement in said piston chamber,I

and a tubular impact member guided in the bore of the shell and adapted to receive an impact of the piston and transfer the same to the end` of a cigarette in said forward en `of the holder.

being enlarged intermediate ,its length to provide a piston chamber, a piston head hav-- ing movement in said piston chamber and formed with a central. longitudinal bore. and

, a tubular impact member guided in the bore of the shell and adapted to receive the impact of said piston.

4. A. holder for cigarettes and the like,

et its respective ends and guided in the bore oi the shell., seid impact member being' adapted to receive the impact of the piston. i0 Signed at Chicago, Illinois, this 23rd dey of May 1922.
